Governor of Kogi State, Yahaya Bello, has finally honored the invitation of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) over alleged misappropriation of funds.
It was gathered from sources close to the EFCC that he went to the office with his lawyers on Tuesday and not with the current Governor of Kogi State, Usman Ododo.
This followed the Supreme Court judgment which dismissed the state’s case on the constitutionality of the anti-graft agency.
There were insinuations last week that he was going to visit the EFCC, but the former governor’s media aides did not respond to inquiries on the information.
At the last hearing on November 14, the EFCC had sought an adjournment to Wednesday, November 27, in the fresh case it instituted against Bello, saying the 30-day window was still running for the summons earlier issued.
The EFCC, however, admitted his co-defendants, Umar Oricha and Abdulsalami Hudu, to administrative bail and prayed to the court for an extension of time for the 1st defendant to appear.
